Marry with a non-Muslim at Chuch
A Brief Description of the Question:
If a Muslim married to Christian women in the courthouse or church, is that acceptable in Islam or not?
The Answer:
There is an agreement that two witnesses should be Muslim in a marriage in which both parties are Muslim because, a non-Muslim does not have a right of guardianship over a Muslim. (see the Qur’an, an-Nisa, 4:141; al-Kasani, II, 253). According to Abu Hanifa and Abu Yusuf, if both parties or only the woman are from People of the Book, witnesses can be from the People of the Book. So, a marriage in a church is valid. However, it is better for a Muslim to perform a marriage ceremony which is appropriate to the sunnah.
